The Birthchart and Its Psychological and Environmental Correspondences
by
D. W. Sutton

Downloadable PDF eBook

Having constructed the natal horoscope, a map of the heavens that locates the zodiac signs and planets at the birth time and date as viewed from the birthplace, the question arises ‘what does it all mean?’

What is this map really all about and what do the planets, zodiac signs, houses and aspects really indicate?

The function of this book is to answer and explain these questions.

Primarily the birth chart is a map of the unconscious mind or astral body of the person then born. The unconscious mind holds within its organization all the experiences and states of consciousness that the soul has had up to the time of its human birth and these states of consciousness form the character. The astral body is a form built by mental and emotional states; and the birth chart, which is a map of these mental and emotional states, conveys to the student of astrology precise information regarding these mental factors and their relations one to the other and how they affect the abilities and character, and therefore the destiny.

by Dennis Sutton

All things considered the most important matter in astrological work is the assessment of planet prominence.

And the most important factor in astrological research is the integrity of the research model used to determine planet prominence.

This book is a great tool for sharpening your astrological chart analysis skills. It explains the planet prominence rule, how to use it and discusses issues that commonly arise. It then explains how to determine planet prominence using Astrodynes, C. C. Zain’s great tool for numerical chart analysis.

The book analyzes 100 example charts of notable persons, comparing the results of using the traditional astrology prominence rule with results from using Astrodynes to determine planet prominence and the impact on chart analysis results.

A perceptive, easy to follow guide to the basics of horoscope interpretation — the ingredients of the horoscope are discussed and explained.

Covered topics include: what you are; what you feel; what you desire; what you attract; and what you work with. Additionally the detailed meanings of the aspects, houses and planets (the harmonious and discordant sides) are explained.

Presentation of the facts of the Hermetic System and a discussion of what astrology is and is not.

About the Author:

H.S.D. “Sue” Starnaman was born in Kitchener, Ontario on December 28, 1907. She married C.H. Starnaman in 1929, the same year she began writing. In 1930 she became involved in psychic research and by 1932 she joined the Brotherhood of Light. Shortly thereafter the Brotherhood of Light became the Church of Light. The Church of Light was formed by Elbert Benjamine to further the Religion of the Stars.

In 1935 Sue Starnaman began teaching Church of Light lessons in Toronto. This was an activity she maintained throughout the rest of her life.In 1940 Sue became ordained as a Church of Light Minister. She became President of the Church of Light Canada in 1942 and by 1945 Sue took full charge of Church of Light headquarters in Canada.

She was president of this organization for over forty years and taught the Hermetic astrology classes in Toronto for forty-eight years.

This book was originally published by The Aries Press, Chicago, Illinois, in 1943 as two volumes: Beginner's Horoscope Maker and Beginner's Horoscope Reader. Both were authored by Elbert Benjamine.

Part One, the “Maker” was written at a time when astrological charts were calculated by hand using, what at the time, was simple mathematics. Today computers are faster and more accurate than performing the tedious hand-calculations. However, for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of aspects and the finer nuances of chart interpretation, it can be very helpful to understand the math and Beginning Horoscope Maker is helpful in this regard.

Part Two, the “Reader” is a simplified system for interpreting a chart. Its brief interpretations are helpful for gaining insight into a birth chart and for learning how to synthesize the various components of a chart. Interpreting the symbols on a chart is a daunting task for the beginning student. The “Reader” helps bridge the chasm between the beginner and the proficient

In 1972 the two volumes were combined into one book, Beginner's Horoscope Maker & Reader.

The grand dame of astrology, as she was dubbed in a Life magazine article, has put together a tasty repast with all the right ingredients.

In her deft filigree combination of the three the reader soon realizes the close interrelationship of these three subjects ... and in doing so will greatly improve their ability to interpret card readings and the hidden influence of names and numbers.

Here is an up-to-date book containing an easy and enlightening approach to getting the most out of reading tarot cards.

14 diiferent spreads using keywords to give a smooth, informative interpretation for every card in the tarot deck.

This book is filled with information, a great reference book.

This book is an essential tool for those who want to learn to read the cards of The Brotherhood of Light Deck in spreads.

Stellar Treatment works on the principle that each one of us functions in two environments: our physical body lives on the physical or outer plane and our soul or thought-built structure operates on the astral or inner plane. The word astral means “pertaining to a star,” and one’s astrological chart is a map of one’s soul structure or astral body.

The Hermetic Axiom, “As Above, So Below” infers that the structures of the physical body are a reflection of the soul structures as mapped in the chart of birth. A careful analysis of the birth chart can reveal the discords in the soul and help ascertain the physical diseases towards which one is predisposed.

This classic book, first published in 1945, describes how habitual thinking, as mapped by the natal chart and reinforced by progressed aspects, influences the endocrine system, and thus the rest of the physical body. By applying the suggested Thought-Cell Treatments, one can work on healing the inner causes of disease.

How to judge the winners of contests, sporting events, debates, elections, etc. Using Horary Charts to show the importance of timing and the wording of questions, the casting and delination of the charts are explained in detail.

About the Author:
Doris Chase Doane set the foundations of astrological accuracy with her Times Changes for the USA (1966) and Time Changes for Canada and Mexico (1968). She left behind over 30 books ranging from Horoscopes of the US Presidents (1952) to Life’s Astrological Assistance (2004), and many, many articles related to astrology and the Brotherhood of Light teachings.

She became involved with the Church of Light in 1941, working there and through study became a Hermetician. In 1943, she attended UCLA and majored in psychology and sociology, discovering her facility with writing. She met Edward Doane, whom she married in 1944. She and her husband worked at the Church of Light Headquarters, providing service through teaching, research, grading papers, processing orders, and overseeing printing production. Their support at the Headquarters allowed Elbert Benjamine (CCZain) the freedom to tour the country in the post-war II promotion of Brotherhood of Light teachings. She also served on the Board of Directors of the Church of Light and became president of the AFA in 1979 and served in this capacity until 2004.

It provides fascinating background on the example charts used by C. C. Zain in his description of the 36 Decanates in the first two chapters of Course 10-1 Natal Astrology: Delineating the Horoscope.

Mr. Sutton then provides updated charts using more modern data along with additional commentary.

This is an important resource for those studying the BofL Lessons as well as general students of astrology.

The descriptions of those born in the 36 decantes, or 10-degree sections of each zodiacal sign, provide invaluable insight into personality, character and destiny when used as part of a natal chart delineation.

Be sure to check out the subsequent book by D. W. Sutton entitled "Hermetic Astrology: The Decanates - A User's Guide".

It has completely new example charts and analysis - charts for five notable people for each decanate!

How-to Manual for assessing Birth Charts using Church of Light Astrodynes.

Astrodynes is a technique developed by Elbert Benjamine and the Church of Light, for precise determination of the astrological power and harmony or discord of any planet, aspect, sign or house in an astrological chart.

The use of Astrodynes provides a method that greatly facilitates astrological analysis in all departments of life, and is one of most important astrological tools developed in modern times.

The Facts of Astrology

By DW Sutton

In 1924 the question was asked ‘why don’t we investigate birthcharts and find out why people do what they do?’ and thirty years later astrology had been transformed from a superstitious belief system into an evidence-based science supported by fact, after fact, after fact. These facts – representing the science of astrology – provide Hermetic Astrology with a scientific foundation and you with a sense of security and confidence.

But today, 90 years after that question set the astrology revolution in motion, too much astrology is unsubstantiated theory and if you’re a serious student of astrology you can’t afford to use teachings and practices that are not verified by evidence-based statistical research.

Now, for the first time, all these facts have been assembled into a single volume that allows students quick and easy access to all the currently known facts of astrology.

Hermetic Astrology: The Decanates - A User's Guide

by D. W. Sutton

This book contains five example charts of notable people for each of the 36 decanates (10 degree section) of the zodiac - 180 comtemporary notable nativities sorted and analyzed by decanate. It is a valuable companion to CS 10-1 Delineating the Horoscope because it supplements the information in the first two chapters on the decanates. Sutton's book, however, contains contemporary notable personalities, and the charts are all Rodden-rated for authenticity.

This book is a PDF eBook and is distributed via a download link in your email receipt.

An excellent book on how to delineate and interpret a chart using Astrodynes. Astrodynes are a method developed by the Church of Light for quantifying the power, hamony and discord of planets, signs and houses in an astrological chart based on house position and planetary aspects.

Doris, often called the Grand Dame of astrology and member of the Church of Light Board of Directors before her passing, uses the term Cosmodynes in place of Astrodynes, but the methods are identical.

With Statistical Analysis of Three Thousand Birth Charts and Thirty Vocations

By Elbert Benjamine

(aka C. C. Zain)

One of life’s great challenges is choosing a career through which the individual can find both personal satisfaction and prosperity. Astrological vocational selection involves identifying the natural aptitudes outlined in the chart of birth, and expressing them through those areas of the chart that map the most favorable environments.

Using 30 of the most popular vocations, Elbert Benjamine analyzed 3,000 birth charts to determine the astrological constants operating for vocational selection. When combined with an understanding of your accumulated life experiences and the opportunities available through your environment, astrological vocational selection is an excellent way to develop your soul’s natural aptitudes, contribute better to Universal Welfare, and fulfill your role in God’s Great Plan.

This is an important book for any earnest student of the occult sciences.

Burgoyne was a member of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor, the precursor to The Brotherhood of Light, which became a public organization incorporated as The Church of Light in 1932. First published in 1900, this work was, in part, a response to H. P. Blavatsky's "Isis Unveiled" in which she introduces western occultism to the Hindu concepts of karma and reincarnation, published in 1877.

Light of Egypt is one of the first books to fully present the hermetic (occult) sciences that formed the basis of The Brotherhood of Light.

This book is an occult library in itself, a textbook of esoteric knowledge, setting forth the ancient “Wisdom Religion” as taught by the adepts of hermetic philosophy and science.

Volume I includes chapters on the science of the soul, the mysteries of sex, karma and reincarnation, mediumship, the sacred cycles known as La Clef Hermetique, astrology and alchemy.

This book explains the many options a person has when considering a serious life change.

Electional charts a drawn for an "astrologically propitious" time in the future, identifying the best time to do something important. Addressing these circumstances, this book covers a wide range of subjects.

Over 60 charts representing a variety of events are used to point out how to find the best time making certain changes in your life or beginning some new venture.

Doris does a great job of interweaving electional astrology with natal astrology and related disciplines.

Progressed Aspects of Standard Astrology is a great companion book to both Body Disease and Its Stellar Treatment and When and What Events Will Happen.

Although most Church of Light students have the advantage of the Horoscope computer program for calculating progressions, this volume is helpful for the motivated learner, who is eager to grasp the methods of calculating progressed aspects. By mapping the reinforcements made to major progressions by minor progressions the student and professional astrologer are better equipped to predict the timing of events.

Also included in this volume are Thought-Cell Treatments to help avoid accidents, heart trouble, nervous breakdowns and more.

First published in 1942, this is an excellent companion book to Body Disease and Its Stellar Treatment.

The Hermetic System of Astrology offers insights as to how astrology operates through an interrelationship between the astral and physical planes.

This Astro-Physical Matrix of the soul allows for healing to manifest through inner and outer plane treatments. While Body Disease and Its Stellar Treatment addresses the application of mental diet to heal the thought-built structures of the soul, Stellar Dietetics uses astrological diagnostics as a means of discovering what foods and nutrients are needed to heal the physical body.

A major resource for anyone interested in correlating history with planetary patterns, and a helpful reference for any astrologer. Instant look-up tables give easy access to data that otherwise would require complex calculations. A wide variety of tables are provided for varied time periods from 501 BC through AD 2100 to faciliate ease in correlating history with planetary patterns.

A wealth of information for every astrological researcher, teacher and student! Whether you are interested in history, mundane astrology, planetary patterns, cycles, sunspots or other solar system activity, this book has something for you.

Tables are provided for planetary ingresses from 501 BC through AD 2100. Eclipse data are given from 1700 through 2050. Perihelions and aphelions are also listed from 1700 through 2050. Aspects between outer planets (Jupiter through Pluto) are provided from 1700 through 2050 (with conjunctions back to 501 BC and up to AD 2100).

Planetary stations in longitude are listed from 1700 through 2050 along with times when five or more planets were within a 20 degree arc. The eight lunar phases between 1900 and 2020 are also included. Other tables provide yearly mean sunspot numbers, daily sunspot numbers and major magnetic storms.

Each table is preceded by an explanatory article, giving tips on how to use the tabular information and examples from astrological practice and tradition.

Explanatory articles, written by Neil Michelsen, Maritha Pottenger, Zip Dobyns, David Dukelow and Maria Kay Simms, accompany the tables, making this an educational tool as well. Each article is designed to give tips on how to use the tabular information, with examples from astrological practice and tradition.

In one section, the author/programmer Michelsen,originator of the best-selling American Ephemeris series, displays mandalas constructed from calculations of orbital patterns. These striking figures are both interesting (the Venus-Earth mandala forms a heart!) and inspirational, demonstrating the beauty of the design of our Universe.

Now completely revised according to the latest updates in The American Ephemeris, this Third Edition is an enduring memorial to its author, who was a primary pioneer of computer technology for astrologers.

Neil F. Michelsen, founder of Astro Computing Services and ACS Publications, contributed his programming expertise, astronomical knowledge, compassion and wisdom to the field of astrology for almost 20 years. He served as Chairman for the National Council for Geocosmic Research and provided computer, technical, financial and personal support to many astrological researchers (including the Gauquelins and John Addey). His American Ephemeris for the 20th Century is the most widely read ephemeris in the world, and all of his twenty other books and tables are noted for being the most accurate references available.

Doris Chase Doane, the Grand Dame of astrology, takes you on a journey through life. She shows how the use of astrology can help solve many of life’s problems. In so doing we learn about the way we justify our mistakes, compound our errors and magnify our difficulties. But wait: She explains the way out.
